Review of Postcolonial Ecocriticism: Literature, Animals, Environment by Graham Huggan and Helen Tiffin
Abstract
Was it just a matter of time? Do all political criticisms eventually meet? These musings are prompted by Graham Huggan and Helen Tiffin's new book on postcolonial ecocriticism. One can only be glad that the two words in the title have, in the modern way, shed their hyphens. Otherwise, it would have been a double-double-barrel, against which there are surely sanctions of taste if not of sanity. So, what is the nature of this book, and is it a book that Australian literary scholars should concern themselves with?
